MAN UP n’ Cook is Orlando’s 2nd Annual Urban Father’s Day Cook-off Celebration, exposing vulnerable youth to Christian male role models! MAN UP n’ Cook presented by MAN UP Mentoring, Inc. in partnership with Florida A&M College of Law, Orange County Sheriff’s Office, Orlando Police Department and Orlando Neighborhood Improvement Corporation. The best barbecue in the Greater Orlando Area will be served at MAN UP n’ Cook, complemented by music and exciting activities for the entire family. The free admission event will showcase Orlando’s best backyard grill masters working alongside their mentees in the spirit of teamwork. Mentors and mentees will be integrated throughout the entire event as Cooks, Hosts, Pavilion reps, etc. Over the course of several months, mentors will encourage the following core values: servant leadership, spiritual empowerment, and educational excellence. The bottom line is no child should feel empty or left out on Father’s Day.

MAN UP Mentoring, Inc. is an official non-profit organization in the Greater Orlando area. Our mission is to continually improve the quality of life for at-risk male youth by providing educational, mentoring and social services that will equip young men to lead inspiring lives. In the words of Fredrick Douglass, “It is easier to empower strong children; than to repair broken men.” The proceeds will help raise funds for future mentoring activities, we look forward to seeing you all out here!

Come join us for an overnight camp where you will get a blend of training and actual mission experiences. Peanuts will learn how to share the Gospel, have daily devotions, memorize Bible verses, and be taught about customs and people of other lands by nationals from that country. They will also enjoy making crafts, swimming, and getting to know other kids their same age.

There are three teams to choose from: Cookie Command —This team will make cookies and package them with Bible verses and then go to local police stations and fire departments and hand out the goody packages. Teepee Camp — This team will learn how to mix and pour concrete slabs for teepees that are used on the Teen Missions property. They will also have an opportunity to do a Gospel presentation at a local nursing home. Nehemiah’s Trusses— This team will learn how to use a hammer and nails to build trusses which will be used to construct a covered sidewalk at the Teen Missions base. They, too, will go to a local assisted living facility to share the love of Jesus through music and puppets.

Please go to Teen Missions to get more information about how you might be a part of this fun missions based camp for younger kids.
